Old Town Lugano

6.2
4.6/5
39 reviews

Old Town Lugano is located in the Canton of Ticino in southern Switzerland, nestled on the shores of Lake Lugano and bordering Italy. Palm trees and outdoor cafes can be seen on the streets, and the Mediterranean-style laid-back atmosphere makes it stand out at the foot of the Alps. Piazza Riforma is surrounded by cafes and restaurants and is a gathering hub for locals. Turning from here into Via Nassa, the old arcades are lined with watch shops, jewelry stores, and boutiques, where you can admire the historic buildings along the street while shopping. The steps of the Cathedral of Saint Lawrence are a great spot to overlook the lake, while the Church of Santa Maria degli Angioli houses large frescoes by Renaissance painter Bernardino Luini. Parco Ciani by the lake was originally a 19th-century private estate. Today, it is surrounded by greenery with neat flower beds and is a place for locals to go for morning jogs and picnics. The lakeside promenade connects to the pier, where you can take a boat to tour the lake during the day and visit the small stone-house fishing villages on the opposite shore. If you want to enjoy the view from above, take a cable car up to Monte San Salvatore or Monte Brè, where you can take in the lake scenery, the ridges of the Alps, and the valleys toward Italy. On summer evenings, the lakeside is exceptionally comfortable with a gentle breeze, the outdoor cafes are bustling, and street performances often light up the night, creating a perfect vacation atmosphere.

Castello di Vezio

Castello di Vezio

3.6

Castello di Vezio stands on a cliff on the eastern shore of Lake Como, Italy, overlooking the town of Varenna and the entire lake. It is a medieval military fortress with a rich history. The castle was built in the 11th century and, according to legend, was commissioned by the Lombard Queen Theodelinda. Its superior high-altitude position allowed it to serve as an important site for water defense and surveillance in ancient times. Simple lookout fortifications were established here as early as the Roman period, and the castle has undergone repairs through wars, retaining many historical sites such as underground air-raid tunnels from World War I. The castle consists of a stone main building, ancient walls, and a drawbridge. The grounds contain an olive grove, which is rare for northern Europe, where the forests of the Italian Alps and the lakeside scenery intertwine. The tower houses an exhibition hall for paleontological fossils, while the courtyard features unique sculptures and hosts art exhibitions from time to time. Climbing to the top of the tower offers a 360-degree panoramic view of the lake, with the clear water, villages, and distant mountains all in full view. The castle has different opening hours for the off-season and peak season, and there are also special birds of prey shows in the park. Combining historical, cultural, and natural sightseeing value, it is a unique, off-the-beaten-path destination along Lake Como.

visited lake como in November 2023, I wouldn’t recommend going at that time of the year as we experienced a lot of rain, nonetheless it was still a beautiful place, with lots to do! We went to Bellagio and Varenna by ferry, which was super easy to use and both places were breathtaking

It takes about 2 km to travel to the bus stop and the pier. It's beautiful, but the entrance fee is expensive, about 900 baht. Actually, every place in Tomo is beautiful. Don't forget to check the boat schedule and opening and closing times.

Located in the town of Tremezzo, Carlotta Villa was built in 1747 and attracts tourists from all over the world with its rare flowers. The most famous flower in the garden is the azalea, and some other plants can even grow up to 22 meters high.

The old town is very charming. Walking in the old streets is like going back to the old days. Walking by the lake and basking in the sun, and then going to the LV store to buy a bag, there are few people and the goods are in good condition. It is still very pleasant. I hope time can stop.
